CHAPTER 3
Starting to Dictate
Dragon NaturallySpeaking User’s Guide
32
Skip Back and Skip Forward
These buttons skip backward or forward one utterance. To Dragon
NaturallySpeaking
®
, an utterance is a group of words said together
without pausing.
The Extras menu items can be displayed in the main DragonBar. See
“View options” on page 201.
The microphone in the taskbar
When Dragon NaturallySpeaking
®
is running, one of three small
graphics will appear next to the clock in the Windows
®
task bar. You can
click on these graphics to switch the microphone on or off.
▲ Microphone is on.
▲ Microphone is off.
▲ Microphone is sleeping.
Right-click the microphone icon to access the same menus that are
found on the DragonBar, where you can access all Dragon
NaturallySpeaking
®
functions. Also use this menu to make the
DragonBar appear if it’s hidden (click Restore Previous DragonBar
Mode).
Results box
The Results box is a small yellow window that appears on-screen as you
dictate. It looks like this:
As you speak, the Results box displays the words that Dragon
NaturallySpeaking
®
thinks you said. These words may change as the
program considers different interpretations of the utterance it heard.
After Dragon NaturallySpeaking
®
types the text into your document, the
Results box shows what was typed.
